A new soft switching single stage AC-DC full bridge boost converter with unit input power factor and isolated output i is presented in this paper. Due to the use of a non-dissipative snubber on the primary side, a single stage high-power f factor isolated full bridge boost converter has a significant reduction of switching losses in the main switching devices. The non-dissipative snubber adopted in this study consists of a snubber capacitor Cr, a snubber inductor Cr, a fast r recovery snubber diode Dr' and a commutation diode Dp. This paper presents the complete operating principles, t theoretical analysis and experimental results.

A full bridge type double resonant high frequency resonant inverter to give VVVF function in the inverter used as power source of induction heating at high frequency is presented in this paper. This proposed inverter can reduce distribution of the switching current because of using the current of serial resonant circuit to the input current of the parallel one and this paper also realize the output control of independence irrespective of the switching frequency using Phase-shift. The analysis of the proposed circuit is generally described by using the normalized parameters. Also, the principle of basic operating and the its characteristics are estimated by the parameters, such as switching frequency, the variation of phase angle ($\phi$) of Phase-shift.

슬라이딩 모드 제어기의 실현시 발생하는 고주파 chattering 현상을 제거하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 스위칭 표면 행렬의 Range-space 동특성을 이용한 연속 시간 스위칭 다이나믹을 제안한다. 전체 폐루프 시스템은 정칙 변환에 의해 빠른 부시스템과 느린 부시스템으로 분해되어, 결국 전체 폐루프 시스템의 고유치는 각각 스위칭 표면 행렬의 Range-space와 Null-space의 동특성을 지배하는 부시스템들의 고유치들로 구성됨을 보인다. 그리고, 정합된 불확실성이 존재하는 경우 제안된 스위칭 다이나믹을 가진 제어 시스템의 응답은 일정 시간이 경과된 후 스위칭 평면의 임의의 영역으로 균일하게 유계된다는 것을 증명한다. 또한, 제어 입력의 크기에 대한 제약성을 만족하면서도 전체 제어 시스템의 정상 상태 오차를 감소시키기 위하여 두개의 스위칭 다이나믹을 도입한 수정된 슬라이딩 모드제어기를 제안한다.

This paper presents the current-fed type LLC AC to DC high frequency resonant converter capable of ZVZCS(Zero-Voltage and Zero-Current Switching). The current-fed type LLC AC to DC high frequency resonant converter proposed in this paper could operate not only in ZVS(Zero-Voltage Switching) operation by connecting the resonant capacitors(C₁, C₂) in parallel across the switching devices but also in ZCS(Zero-Current Switching) operation of the secondary diode. The ZVS and ZCS operations can reduce the turn-on loss of the switching devices and the turn-off loss of the secondary diodes, respectively. The circuit analysis of current-fed type LLC AC to DC high frequency resonant converter proposed in this paper is addressed generally by adopting the normalized parameters. The operating characteristics of proposed LLC AC to DC high frequency resonant converter were also evaluated by using the normalized control parameters such as the normalized control frequency(μ), the normalized load resistor(λ) and so on. Based on the characteristic values through the characteristics of evaluation, an example of the design method of proposed LLC AC to DC high frequency resonant converter is suggested, and the validity of the theoretical analysis is confirmed using the experimental results and PSIM simulation.

This paper presents a novel series connected DC/DC converter and a proper variable phase shift switching method in order to obtain high voltage ratio for fuel cell system. The proposed series connected DC/DC converter has same rectifier and LC filter for DC output voltage, so it can reduce the number of passive devices regardless of the converter number. In the conventional constant phase shift switching method, the proposed series connected DC converters have inverse bias output voltage. In order to overcome this problem, a simple but proper variable phase shift switching method is proposed in the a novel series connected DC/DC converter. In order to verify the proposed system, simulation and experiments are implemented.

This paper presents the high frequency resonant inverter of class D SEPP(Single-Ended Push Pull) type using LS-ZVS-LSTC, which can reduce the switching losses during the turn-on and turn-off switching time. The analysis of high frequency resonant inverter using LS-ZVS-LSTC(Low-loss Turn-off Snubber Capacitor) proposed in this paper is described in general by adopting the normalized parameters. The operating characteristics of the proposed high frequency resonant inverter were also evaluated by using the control parameters such as the normalized control frequency(μ), the normalized load time constant(τ), the coupling factor(κ) and so on. Based on the characteristic values through the characteristics of evaluation, an example of the design method of the 1.8[kW] class D SEPP type high frequency inverter is suggested, and the validity of the theoretical analysis is verified using the experimental data.
